Bi-lingual poetry book by Alex Skovron translated into French by Jacques Rancourt. ‘I translate the books of a famous author before they are written. …’ So begins the title-poem of this bilingual, parallel-text edition of ten poems by Alex Skovron, with translations by Jacques Rancourt. Although the selection is not large, it traverses a rich poetic terrain in which some of the poet’s most pressing concerns are explored. The voices of night mingle with importunings from the past and memories of the future; the familiar grows suddenly strange; faith and fable challenge belief; myth and reality quietly intersect; there is longing, and loss; there is music, and the end of time; even a tree that grows from the sky. These are poems that probe the shades and border-lines of our lives, re-imagining who and what we are.
